Blair Kamin, the Tribune's architecture critic declares the $475 million Millennium Park a 'cultural spectacle'.

Millennium Park mirrors the rebirth of Chicago, not just the robustness of the real estate market, but the ambition of its patrons, the creativity of its artists and architects, and the ongoing miracle of its ability to transform a no place into a someplace that's extraordinary."
